Development plan will be focused on Poor and farmers - Ashok Gehlot
Alwar is one of the most industrialized regions in the state and there is a huge population of laboures and factory workers here. The ESI hospital is expected to benefit more than 2 lakh workers. The chief minister also assured full support for establishment of a private university in the region.
Influence of the forthcoming parliamentary elections was evident on the occasion as speakers focussed on highlighting the achievements of the UPA government at the Centre and the work of the recently- elected Congress government in the state. The chief minister Ashok Gehlot claimed, "In limited time the state government has made historical decisions in direction of public welfare that will benefit the poor, labourers and farmers in the villages."
Indian GDP growth at 6-yr low of 5.3%
The sharp dip in growth in Q3, from 7.6% for Q2, was due to a 2.2% decline in agriculture and a 0.2% decline in manufacturing. The dip in agriculture would be particularly worrying for several sectors which were banking on strong rural demand. For April-December 2008, the growth rate is now 6.9%. The economy will have to grow 7.7% in Q4 if 7.1% growth for the full year is to materialise. Given the global recession, that seems extremely remote.
Pandit Hiralal Shastri - First Chief Minister of Rajasthan
Pandit Hiralal Shastri was born on November 24, 1899 at Jobner in Jaipur District. Born in a peasant family, he had his early education in Jobner. Hiralal secured the degree of Sahitya Shastri in 1920. He took B.A. degree in 1921 from Maharaja's College, Jaipur, securing the first rank. From early childhood Hiralal had a burning desire to go to some village and devote his life to the service of the downtrodden. Though he joined Jaipur State Service in 1921 and had a meteoric rise to become Secretary in the Home and Foreign Departments, he resigned the same in 1927. While in administrative service he displayed qualities of hard work, efficiency and fearlessness.In 1929, in fulfillment of his childhood resolve, Hiralal Shastri selected a remote and backward village Banasthali, 45 miles from Jaipur and founded 'Jeevan Kutir' there. Here he trained a band of dedicated social workers and endeavoured to implement a programme of rural reconstruction. These workers later became the heralds of political awakening in many of the Rajputana States. He himself was drawn to political arena when he was drafted to reorganize Jaipur Rajya Praja Mandal in 1937 of which he was twice elected General Secretary and twice President. In 1939 he led the Praja Mandal's Satyagraha for achievement of civil liberties and suffered a six-months imprisonment.
In 1947 he was appointed General Secretary of All India States Peoples Conference. The same year he was elected to the Constituent Assembly.
On the installation of representative Government in Jaipur State in 1948 Hiralal Shastri took over as the Chief Minister and when Rajasthan State was formed on March 30,1949 he became its first Chief Minister. On him fell the herculean task of integrating the diverse princely units into effective modern administration. He accomplished this complex task ably in a short period. He resigned on January 5, 1951 and later became member of the Second Lok Sabha.
Hiralal Shastri passed away on December 28, 1974. Forthright and fearless in his views, an Indian to the core of his heart, a selfless social worker, Pandit Hiralal Shastri was a farsighted and popular leader. To him goes largely the credit of laying the foundation of a strong, unified and progressive Rajasthan.

Tata Nano to roll out on March 23
The world’s cheapest car, the widely-awaited Nano, will be launched on March 23, Tata Motors said on Thursday. The company will display the Nanot dealerships from the first week of April and will accept bookings from the second week of April. Nano’s entry might lead to growth in the domestic market. The car may also find a niche abroad, as cash-strapped consumers are likely to look for bargains. The company displayed the Nano at the Geneva Motor Show last year and plans to present the European version at the show in March 2009. It plans to sell Nano in Europe for E5,000. The company unveiled the Nano in January 2008 with a price tag of around Rs 1 lakh, nearly half the price of the next cheapest car in India, and aimed at launching it in the last quarter of 2008. The launch was delayed, as Tata Motors had to relocate its factory from West Bengal to Sanand in Gujarat because of protests over acquisition of agricultural land. It invested Rs 1,500 crore for setting up the West Bengal unit and is spending Rs 2,000 crore in the Sanand plant. Tata Motors will roll out 60,000-80,000 units of the Nano from another plant in Pantnagar in Uttarkhand till the Sanand unit is geared up to produce 2.5 lakh units a year. There is speculation as to whether Tata Motors would launch Nano in a number of cities. “The company is making arrangements for the widest possible network to book the car, so that prospective customers can conveniently avail of booking facilities at their locations. The booking process and other details will be announced on March 23,” the company said in a statement. Tata Motors has begun aggressively gearing up its distribution network to sell the car, which will primarily focus on semi-urban and rural markets. “We have been asked to open as many showrooms as possible at the district levels as the company has planned a slew of new launches this year,” said a Mumbai-based Tata Motors dealer, requesting anonymity. The base version of the Nano, which will be without an AC, will be priced at around Rs 1 lakh while the AC model will carry a higher price tag, said sources close to the project. It is learnt that Tata Motors Finance is working on various packages through SBI and HDFC Bank to offer competitive interest rates.New Airport for Ajmer and Bikaner in Rajasthan will be soon

While two factory-fresh Nanos — one white, one silver — were driven to the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Friday for blessings, on Sunday afternoon, yet another Nano made its way through the narrow, crowded lanes outside Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti’s dargah in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Tata officials with the car offered a chadar at the shrine. “Ratan Tata himself instructed that the blessings of different leading shrines of our pluralistic country should be sought before the Nano hits the road,” said one of the five officials who travelled in the car to Amritsar, refusing to be named.The Nano in Ajmer was built at Pimpri in Maharashtra, airlifted from Mumbai to Jaipur and driven down, said a Tata Motors dealer. The Nano drew huge crowds everywhere. “Wherever we stopped for lunch or tea, hundreds would gather,” the Tata official said. “Many wanted to test-drive the vehicle. We allowed a few to do so.” “It was both a spiritual journey and a test of its road worthiness,” said Rishi Dada, managing director of Dada Motors, Tatas’ authorised dealer in Jalandhar and Ludhiana.
